Instructions

  1. Add Bella Casara Ricotta to a large bowl and using hand beaters, beat until loosened, about 1 minute.
    Add the icing sugar and beat until fully combined, about 2 minutes. The mixture should
    be thick but soft and smooth.
  2. Add the mixture into a piping bag with a large piping tip. Using a star piping tip will add
    more interest to the cannoli’s, but round works too.
  3. Pipe the cheese mixture into the cannoli shells, piping the mixture in both sides of the
    shell ensuring they are fully filled.
  4. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips or walnuts if desired. Or as another option, melt some
    of the chocolate chips and dip the ends of the cannoli shells into the chocolate and
    sprinkle with walnuts. Let the chocolate harden before adding the filling.
  5. Serve immediately to ensure the cannoli maintains their desired crunchy shell.
